We have done several other art project in the past that have been inspired by the Frugal Family Fun Blog. I just love her ideas. I will link the title of each one of these to her blog post about how to make that item. You will notice that we took some artistic liberties and did some different things to our projects.
This first project is a pencil holder for daddy to take to work with him. I suppose we could have made two, but decided to hang up the other half of the painted piece. This one we followed pretty closely, but I did add some clear contact paper over the painted colored paper to make it water resistant. Daddy likes it and thinks it is pretty neat.
Ok, for this one they made a card and had taped down some blue paper for the water, so it was more of an inspiration piece that inspired the fish and then she painted the seas as it was in a scene in "Ponyo". So, she calls this her Ponyo picture.
You know, I took a lot more picture of her making all this art work, but I just don't have time to make all the collages and post about them when we are so busy making the art. So, you just get to see the final projects.
We did a good job following the instructions, but in the end she decided that the seeds needed to be in different spots since they aren't lined up straight in a real orange and are all over in side.
ok - well, the idea was the same for this one, but instead we painted with food coloring thinned with water. And she had to place a flowered jewel in the center of each one "to make it pretty."
I thought this project was so cute. Not sure where the mom from Frugal Family Fun got her leaf paint chips, otherwise I would have used them too. So, I just cut out leaves using patterned scissors on some leftover green tissue paper and I let her draw the branches and veins in the leaves.
The idea for this top one came from Ramblings of a Crazy Woman. We did these both today and I they turned out so cute. The bottom one was an idea I saw somewhere, but for the life of me I can't remember where and I didn't bookmark it and so I can't give credit for that idea rightfully.
For this one she took out a coloring sheets and was painting it using up the extra paint from her "Ponyo picture". It's hard to tell because the colors are close in shades, but she was actually painting each thing on it's own and she tried to paint things next to each other a different shade.
Isabel made this collage for her daddy one morning. She was just watching a show and then went & gathered a bunch of supplies and sat down & made it while she watched.
This is a picture she drew of Cinderella for the Disney Princess magazine.
This was a fun crown pendant that we made. The idea came from the Disney Princess magazine (we checked it out from the library.)

We spent a good chunk of time this morning working on some art projects. When we went to the library on Thursday, Isabel picked out the book, Little Hands Paper Plate Crafts. I had brought this home from the library once before when she was about 2 and we did one craft, but now it is much more appropriate.
